Our physician-directed weight loss program combines lipid analysis, low glycemic impact eating, and nutrition education. It provides an essential plan for losing weight and the necessary direction for maintaining a healthy new lifestyle.
How does it work?
During your initial visit, you will complete a questionnaire which asks about current and past health and living habits. Next, you will meet with one of our highly trained weight loss doctors to review your health history, perform testing (which includes a physical), and consult with you about your health and well-being goals. If it is likely that you could benefit from treatment, you will have an extensive bloodwork evaluation, EKG, medical history and physical exam. This testing will tell if your blood chemistry is accelerating the process of weight gain and if there are other factors about which our doctors need to be aware. We will suggest an action plan and your treatment will begin immediately!
Results:
To ensure your treatment is producing the desired results, your doctor will schedule regular follow-up visits with you. Keep in mind that everyone is different and no one treatment option, dose of medicine, or dietary plan fits all. The correct medications are determined based on laboratory results, individual goals, severity of symptoms, age, gender and body size. Your customized treatment is completely supervised by our doctors to ensure that everything is done properly, safely and successfully.
HCG
HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone naturally produced by the placenta in pregnant women that almost completely controls the metabolic function through the hypothalamus throughout a pregnancy. As a weight loss protocol, HCG controls the metabolic function through the hypothalamus in men and women.
How does it work?
HCG works by helping reset the hypothalmus by sending signals to begin breaking down and using abnormally high body fat as a primary fuel source. Our HCG “jump-start” program is a series of twenty-one daily injections combined with a rigorous diet which is quite effective at helping people rapidly start the process of losing stubborn fat stores. This is not a diet protocol to approach lightly or for making a short-term change. It requires total commitment for the duration of the diet. If strictly adhered to, most people can expect to lose between 10 and 20 pounds and gain momentum towards long-term weight loss goals.
Results:
Our goal is not short-term. We want to help you makes the changes and plans that will let you achieve your long-term goals. At the end of the HCG jump-start, we perform a round of metabolic and body composition testing that will give us the data we need to help you come up with a long-term plan. A benefit of the HCG jump-start is making the transition to a long-term diet possible. For many people, the difference between their current weight and where they want to be is so large that the challenge seems insurmountable. The HCG diet protocol can help you get started and show you that it is not only possible, but that every week a little more weight comes off will leave you feeling better than the week before.
